Dr. Jimmy Lopez: True Leadership in Service

'Jimmy, the worker,' this is how the recently honoured and a prominent Filipino-Australian community leader, Dr. Jimmy Lopez, wants to be remembered. Throughout his life, he has been committed to service; the certificate that was awarded to him for being a part of the Premier's Volunteer Recognition Program by MP Greg Warren from Campbelltown, New South Wales (NSW), was indeed a well-deserved honour.

With a charismatic smile and a humble personality, Dr. Jimmy Lopez shares that he dreams that the legacy of the Filipino arts and culture be passed on the younger generation of Filipino-Australians.

Dr. Jimmy Lopez is currently the president of the National Affiliation of Respectable and Responsible Associations (NARRA) Co-operative Ltd, and Blessed Pedro Calungsod , Inc. He is also the founding president of many Filipino-Australian associations today.
